Be careful it will eat away concrete. It will help with the rust (not oil) have plenty of water available to rinse off and follow trail as it will leave a stain of the water trail on your concrete if not scrubbed off well.

Mike, KNOWS. I wouldn't use muriatic acid if you've never worked with it before, surface degradation and cracks are a common result. Use Sure Kleen instead.

Flame away, If out side use small amount of reg gas scrub with a broom cover with floor dry sweep it up, it will be spotless. Just did it today on my sons driveway from a tranny line leak. Tom

I used drain cleaner and it worked well. About 90% successful.

Hardware guy said same thing and while a nice driveway when washing off I have about 3 puddle areas and the along driveway is slightly higher. So wouldn't be able to remove all acid. I had purple power it really help alot.
